If you are staying close to the lifts, transportation should not be an issue. In addition, most hotels provide shuttles with their own buses or cars. But if you prefer not to rely on them, car rentals and taxis are at your disposal.
The well-known Le Mulet, a free shuttle bus, also operates through the town center. It passes by the parking lot at the southern entrance to Chamonix and, during peak season, departs every ten minutes. There are 19 seats available, including spaces for people with reduced mobility.
Moreover, buses run throughout the valley, serving ski resorts and tourist destinations. All routes start from the “South Chamonix” stop, circling the town.
You can travel for free if you have a Carte d'Hote, Gens Du Pays card, or a ski pass. Ask your hotel provider for a Carte d'Hote.
Fare
If you don’t have such a card, the fare is 1.70 EUR.
There is also a night bus operating during the summer and winter seasons, but it does not run in between. The journey costs 4.5 EUR.
In peak season, the waiting time is no more than 20 minutes, but it’s best to check the schedule.
